I actually use Linux full-time, but I encounter contacts folders when migrating
clients over to Linux. I believe Outlook and some other Microsoft apps used to
store contacts in there. Windows 10 does not, opting instead to use the People
app which, while being a desktop app, requires logging into a web version to
export contacts.

The main reason this is valuable is because all the people who upgraded from
Windows 7 to Windows 10 have a contacts folder, and it's not unlikely that
there are contacts in it that they might want in the event they switch to Linux
or require data recovery. I opened this feature request after a client came to
me with an old laptop running Windows 10 on a failing drive with several
hundred contacts in the folder.

I'm attaching some contact files with the real info replaced in a text editor.
